One dead after car crashes into San Jose home

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- One person was killed and another person was injured when their truck crashed into a home in East San Jose Friday morning, a police spokesman said.

Around 10:45 a.m., officers responded to a report of a white truck that crashed into a home in the 3200 block of Sprucegate Court across the street from Evergreen Valley High School, Officer Albert Morales said.

It appears the truck went off the roadway, drove into a wall and crashed into the backyard of the home.

Arriving officers found two men inside a truck that sustained extensive damage, Morales said.

One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene and the other man was transported to a hospital for treatment, the spokesman said.

Traffic investigators are looking into the circumstances surrounding the crash, Morales said.
